English version The Sutra of the Buddha on Retribution of Sins and the Teaching of Hell Translated by An Shih-kao of Parthia during the Later Han Dynasty Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Rājagṛha (王舍城) on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa (耆阇崛山), together with a great assembly of Bodhisattva Mahāsattvas (大菩萨摩诃萨) and Śrāvakas (声闻), as well as bhikṣus (比丘), bhikṣuṇīs (比丘尼), upāsakas (优婆塞), upāsikās (优婆夷), and various devas (诸天), nāgas (龙), and ghosts and spirits. At that time, the Bodhisattva Śraddhābhūmi (信相菩萨) said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! Now there are various kinds of beings in hell (地狱), as hungry ghosts (饿鬼), as animals (畜生), as slaves, and in conditions of poverty, wealth, nobility, and lowliness. I beseech the World-Honored One to fully expound on these matters! If sentient beings hear the Buddha's teachings, it will be like a child finding its mother, a sick person finding a doctor, a weak person finding food, or darkness finding light. The World-Honored One's teaching benefits sentient beings in the same way.' At that time, the World-Honored One, seeing that the time was right and observing the Bodhisattva's earnest request, emitted a ray of light from the white hair between his eyebrows (ūrṇā, 白毫相), illuminating the world—the hells were given respite, and suffering was eased. At that time, all the beings undergoing punishment followed the Buddha's light and came to the Buddha's location; they circumambulated the Buddha seven times, prostrated themselves before the Buddha, and requested the World-Honored One to expound the Dharma, so that these beings could be liberated. At that time, the Bodhisattva Śraddhābhūmi, initiating the inquiry for the sake of all beings, stepped forward and said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! Now there are sentient beings undergoing punishment, being chopped and pounded by the hell wardens, their bodies cut from head to toe, even to the top of their heads; after being chopped, they are revived by a skillful wind, and then chopped again. What sins have caused this?' The Buddha said: 'This is because in their past lives they did not believe in the Three Jewels (triratna, 三宝), were not filial to their parents, and were butchers who slaughtered living beings. Therefore, they receive this retribution.' 'Secondly, there are beings whose bodies are numb, whose eyebrows and beards have fallen out, whose entire bodies are festering, who dwell like birds and sleep like deer, forever cut off from human contact, defiling their relatives, and whom people dislike seeing, calling it leprosy. What sins have caused this?' The Buddha said: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: 'In past lives, due to not believing in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), being disrespectful to parents, destroying pagodas and temples, exploiting ascetics, killing or shooting sages, harming teachers, often being untrustworthy, betraying kindness, forgetting righteousness, frequently engaging in opportunistic behavior, and being unrestrained in sexual misconduct regardless of social status, one incurs such retribution.' 'Thirdly, there are beings with large bodies, deaf and foolish, without feet, who can only roll on the ground and crawl on their bellies, surviving only by eating mud, and being devoured by various small insects, constantly suffering such unbearable pain. What sin causes this?' The Buddha said, 'In past lives, due to being self-willed, not believing in good words and advice, being disrespectful to parents, and rebelling against the ruler; or as emperors, ministers, commanders of the four regions, local officials, prefects, magistrates, jailers, or supervisors, relying on their power to seize the property of the people, acting without reason, causing the people to suffer and complain. Therefore, one incurs such retribution.' 'Fourthly, there are beings who are blind in both eyes and cannot see anything, sometimes bumping into trees or falling into ditches, and after death, they are reborn in the same condition. What sin causes this?' The Buddha said, 'In past lives, due to not believing in the karmic consequences of sin and merit, obscuring the light of the Buddha, sewing up the eyes of eagles, caging living beings, and covering their heads with leather bags, preventing them from seeing the light. Therefore, one incurs such retribution.' 'Fifthly, there are beings who stutter, are inarticulate, and cannot speak. If they want to say something, they close their eyes and raise their hands, but still cannot speak clearly. What sin causes this?' The Buddha said, 'In past lives, due to slandering the Three Jewels, belittling and defaming the holy path, discussing the merits and faults of others, seeking out the shortcomings of others, falsely accusing good people, and hating and envying virtuous people. Therefore, one incurs such retribution.' 'Sixthly, there are beings with large bellies and thin necks, unable to swallow food; if they eat something, it turns into pus and blood. What sin causes this?' The Buddha said, 'In past lives, due to stealing food offered to the Sangha, or secretly eating the food offered during large gatherings; being stingy with one's own possessions, only coveting the wealth of others; constantly harboring malicious thoughts, giving poison to others, causing their breath to be obstructed. Therefore, one incurs such retribution.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
